    <img alt="Tortoise SVN" src="http://tortoisesvn.net/themes/logo.png" style="height: 45px;" />&nbsp;Downloading Source Code</h3>
  If you are new to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control">source control/revision control systems</a>, this is a great opportunity! Here are some quick instructions to get you setup with TortoiseSVN (cause it&#39;s free) and downloading the source code from the study group!
  <ol>
    <li>Download the <a href="http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads">TortoiseSVN client software</a> (note, there are separate installs for 32 and 64 bit machines). </li>
    <li>Reboot (the install program will prompt you when to do this). Don&#39;t worry, TortoiseSVN is integrated into Windows Explorer to help with updates/gets/reverts/commits etc. </li>
    <li>Using Windows Explorer, goto the directory where you want to download the source code. Pick your root directory where you want everything installed into (you don&#39;t have to create the top directory though, it will be done for you when you get the code). </li>
    <li>Right mouse click in Windows Explorer anywhere in the white area (make sure you&#39;re not clicking on a folder nor file), then select the &quot;SVN Checkout...&quot; option. This is to kick start the process of downloading the source code. You&#39;re well on your way now! </li>
    <li>Next, you&#39;ll see a Checkout dialog, enter the following URL https://ODNCStudyGroup.svn.codeplex.com/svn into the &quot;URL of repository&quot; drop down listbox. This is the CodePlex address for the ODNC Study group source code. If you forget, you can get it back <a href="http://ODNCStudyGroup.codeplex.com/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommits.aspx">by visiting the Source Code page as well</a>. </li>
    <li>Double check the &quot;Checkout directory&quot; checkbox to make sure you&#39;re ok with the directory it&#39;ll create for you. The base directory should be &quot;ODNCStudyGroup.&quot; </li>
    <li>Now hit OK and watch the code fly in! You&#39;ll see the progress in a new &quot;svn - Checkout&quot; dialog. </li>
    <li>Click on the OK when it&#39;s finished and now you have all the source code and can start poking around. Enjoy! </li>
  </ol>
